Teachers want to just teach. They are hard-working, dedicated individuals capable of inspiring the kids they teach. Yet, they’re often burdened with unnecessary paperwork even for the most routine tasks like getting approval for taking a personal day off or purchasing supplies. It’s often a PDF form with complicated instructions (here and here for more examples) and the process is time-consuming, frustrating and expensive.

Automate these approvals with frevvo and you’ll save time and money, end up with happier teachers and staff and do all that at an amazingly affordable price. Watch the short (2.5 min) video below to see how.

Teachers and educators at all levels already face numerous challenges. There’s always too much to do, not enough budget for it and too little time. Teachers prefer to focus on teaching, yet, like the rest of us, they need to take vacation, purchase supplies and get the needed approvals.

Usually, this means filling out a PDF form (here and here for more examples), printing it out and getting approvals. Each one has complicated instructions and the process is time-consuming, frustrating and expensive. Why make teachers waste time when they’d rather be teaching?

… or The Amazing ROI of frevvo approval workflows

Many businesses still use Excel/Word/PDF for approval workflows. For example, to get the requisite approvals for an expense report, a purchase requisition, project plan or some other important document, it’s very common for the original requester to pull up an Excel spreadsheet and fill it out. This ad-hoc approach is fraught with problems:

How do you ensure that you have the latest version? Shared folder? Intranet?

How do you get the approvals? Via e-mail? Schedule a meeting? What happens if someone is on vacation or fails to respond in a timely manner? What if there’s an error? More e-mail?

What if a signature is required? Attachments? Does this mean printing, signing and scanning?

How do you keep track of and formally record who has approved the document? Save multiple e-mails? Meeting notes?

What will happen months from now when you need to find the signed and approved document?

Excel-based approval workflows are surprisingly expensive and an automated approval workflow from frevvo can save you tons of money. It’s fast and easy to implement and you’ll start seeing positive ROI in 2-3 months (even faster at higher volumes).
